06:30 – Does Canon 1248 of the 1984 Code of Canon Law prohibit attending an SSPX Mass to fulfill your Sunday obligation?
18:10 – Is drunkenness a venial or mortal sin? If it depends on the context, when does it move from venial to mortal?
24:05 – I’ve heard people talk about “the four things that call down the wrath of God.” What are those and where are they written?
24:50 – Is it possible that the six other sacraments besides the Eucharist are aspects of what Christ does, such as the water of baptism being the water from Christ’s side?
32:50 – Was Joseph young or old when he married Mary?
35:20 – How do we properly dispose of devotional materials in a respectful way?
39:20 – I heard that our prayers for our loved ones are only efficacious if we’re in a state of grace. I think that might cause despair since so few people are in a state of grace.
43:15 – How do I get past misinformation about what the Church Fathers said? Whenever I hear anyone quote them it’s always in favor of his own view, and they wrote too much for me to read it all.
45:30 – My friend told me that I have to be perfect to get to heaven, and I’m confused because I thought only Jesus and Mary were perfect.
